@Marfi: do you have any cheapies?
-
Hi everyone, been staying away from the POAS boards for a while whilst waiting for treatment as had 0 hope for last cycles, honestly didn't even get upset at AF coming. Wanted to spend as little time as possible thinking about TTC. This month though I have started progesterone (next month it is hcg injections) and now I am back obsessing again (great) I am currently 12dpo so AF would have been due tomorrow and I need to test on friday to stop progesterone. Really not looking forward to that. The only symptoms I have had is mild cramps yesterday and the evening before. My bbt is still nice and high but it seems that it would be on progesterone anyway.
-
@Raindrop: about the more posts... it doesn't surprise me, this board is just so supportive of everyone on it I'm so glad we have a 6+ POAS thread.
-
@Snowdrop: Welcome back! I've got my FX for your test on Friday.
-
After 5 days of almost-stark-white OPKs, I woke up to these beautiful lines this morning! I was fretting that I wouldn't O this month, even on the Clomid again, because my lines weren't getting darker at.all. I guess I was wrong!
(CD14!)
-
@HeartAbandoned: thank you! And get off HB and into the sack
-
@Crystal: They are cheapies. It's not that they are expensive tests it's just that I am starting to run low.
-
@HeartAbandoned: hooray! Nice dark OPK. Get some!
-
@Snowdrop: @MrsMccarthy: HB cracks me up - these are so not conversations I'd have in person, but they are totally acceptable and expected on here
And we're covering our bases, for sure!
-
Good morning, ladies!!!
@HeartAbandoned: Congratulations! That's a nice looking OPK.
@MirsTicTacToe: Are you testing today, lady???

@septca: please can you put me on for the 23rd if you can still edit? Maybe if it is up there I will be brave enough to test!
-
@Snowdrop: Done! And by "if it is up there" I'll assume you mean "if you all pressure me to POAS until I do it so you just STFU already!"
-
@septca: I actually do, I'm really not a POAS type of girl, it's the whole Schrodinger's cat thing and testing is like opening the box and discovering your cat is dead!

Book: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

Movie: too many to name but I really love It's a Wonderful Life2. Introvert or extrovert?
Bit of both. People think of me as a full extrovert but they are wrong. I can get paralyzing social anxiety3. When was the last time you cried?
last week.4. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Sure.5. If someone gave you a million dollars tomorrow and you had to spend it by next month, what would you buy?
I would get a full no expenses spared fertility workup and any treatments if necessary, then i would by a sweet cottage here in PDX.
6. What are your 3 favorite things about yourself?
I'm a loving mother
I'm raw and honest by nature.
I work really hard to be grateful7. What are your 3 *least* favorite things about yourself?
I have a big mouth
I tend to be like a dog with a bone and can't let much go
Control freak
I HATE that i try to please people too much but i am getting better with that one.8. Who is your celebrity crush?
It's cliche but Ryan Gosling is so dreamy9. What is your favorite type of sandwich?
meatball sub! yum10. What's your go-to pedicure color?
I like either bare or cherry red toenails -
@Snowdrop: Now that's dark.
-
@septca: I didn't test today because I was SO SURE I was going to wake up to AF. If it doesn't show by Friday, I'll test, even though I don't like testing on weekdays. It's also tricky because we are going to my ILs this weekend and I only like to test at home. But I really think I'm going to get it today or tomorrow.
-
@mrs. tictactoe: we have similar attitudes to PingOAS!
-
@Snowdrop: Yep. I always just assume the worst!
-
I don't want to read anything into this... (remember how I said I am *always* convinced I am KU, even on cycles - like this one - where it would be virtually impossible to be KU???)... but for the last couple of days I have had a ton of watery-creamy CM. I've had this twice before... during both of my BFP cycles. 8 DPO today. Being a good wife and hiding the pee sticks (today would normally have been my first POAS day because I am crazy like that).
-
@septca: fingers crossed for you my darlin! Perhaps all the extra discomfort you felt this month was your baby tearing through your wonky tube and snuggling into your ute! I sure hope so!!!
In opposite news I was realizing last night how pregnant I was feeling at CD9 and that really put things into perspective for all the months I have been feeling pregnant prior.blah
-
@Crystal: OMG I totally forgot about Joseph Gordon-Levitt!! I love him. I'm super short so he's perfect for me.
-
@Snowdrop: Welcome back! Wow you are such a strong person. I can't do anything but think about TTCing and wanting to test and over obsess with it. FX for you on Friday. We are all rooting for you!!
@HeartAbandoned: Those are great lines... get to it lady
@mrs. tictactoe: FX ... no AF is a good sign.

@Crystal: Baby horse and horse baby are not too much to ask for!
Cheers to GoT! I am dying to start season two.@Snowdrop: I also have my fingers crossed for your test on friday!
@HeartAbandoned: Hooray for positive OPK! We are close to being cycle twins. I am 1dpo today. How is the clomid treating you? Are you doing TI or IUI this cycle?
@Snowdrop: Bahahahaha.... I love your dark analogy.
-
@LIL BEAN: did you just O?
YAY!
-
Hi all! I've been laying low the last couple weeks. I O'd so late this cycle, I'd convinced myself it wasn't happening this month. (Also got very down and wondered if I was menopausal
).
BUT I finally got my first smiley-face OPK last Thursday morn! I was so excited! We BD'd like crazy and now I'm at 6dpo and on progesterone cream... Just waiting. Again. My POAS date is two days after my birthday. Here's hoping for a BFP bday present! I've been following along with your all the posts on here. You girls are REALLY a great group. It's amazing how happy I get when one of u gets a BFP! (Or sad, when AF arrives). I love that this board is not JUST about fertility- y'all mix it up and that's just what a girl needs to distract from the obsessive nature of TTC. Big hugs to all of you! (I'll fill in the questionnaire sometime today...)
-
@Raindrop: aww! See how supportive u are? Yes- forgot to mention I updated my POAS date!
-
@LIL BEAN: How late did you O? Are you on any kind of vitamins or things like that? In any event, the fact that you did O is all that matters. You don't have too much longer in this TWW. Happy early birthday!
-
@LIL BEAN: Yay! Sounds like great BDing!! You go girl.
I'm totally an A-type and I can't help but obsess! I really admire people that can step away and take their minds off of it.
-
1. What's your favorite book and/or tv show and/or movie?
Book: Angels & Demons
TV Show: currently Downton Abbey (just got DH hooked)
Movie: Godfather
2. Introvert or extrovert? Intro/extrovert - depends on who I'm with
3. When was the last time you cried?
Last week. No OPK, no ovulation, getting older by the second, and having money issues. The next day, everything was resolved.
4. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Yep
5. If someone gave you a million dollars tomorrow and you had to spend it by next month, what would you buy?
Pay off debts. Buy some vacay property.
6. What are your 3 favorite things about yourself?
Sense of humour, easy-going, good friend
7. What are your 3 *least* favorite things about yourself?
Too sensitive, could be tidier, big thighs

Matt Damon (circa Bourne movies)
9. What is your favorite type of sandwich?
PB & J! Hands down
10. What's your go-to pedicure color?
Bright pink -
@MrsMcD: I O'd on cd21. Last few cycles, it's been between cd13 to 18 at MOST.
@Raindrop: well, my mind is never really "off" it, but I was too upset and didn't want to bring the group down... It all gets better in the end...
-
@LIL BEAN: congrats on being 6dpo! Late O is annoying! I think menopause tends to produce short cycles (just a positive for you)
@Raindrop: @MrsMcD: Thank you for the positive thoughts!
-
Okay, pop quiz:
Who can actually turn their mind off of TTC at any given point? Can you go a whole day without thinking about it? If so, are you also good at meditating?
(Not me, no, HELL no.)
-
And people please post some more hotties?
-
@septca: Sometimes on the weekends I forget. When I'm hanging and having fun with DH and we can slip into a pseudo carefree mindset.
-
@MrsMcD: Wow. That's impressive. Weekends are key BD time because it's so hard during the week, so that's always on my mind.
-
@septca: I think you know my answer but TTCing has basically taken over my life the last 11 months I want to say we were NTNP for a few months in the beginning but who am I kidding! I started tracking my period and everything 3 months before we were NTNP just to get a feel for my cycles... who does that? ME! That's who. So really I have been obsessing over this for like 14 months.
-
@MrsMcD: I'm 2 DPO today! (Probably - no crosshairs yet but I'm pretty sure it was Monday.)
-
@septca: But somehow weekend sex (if DH isn't working) is always just more fun. ETA:
-
@PawPrints: Are you still BDing? I'm really hoping to BD tonight and tomorrow so that I hit 0+1 and 0+2. I have always been bad with post-O BDing.
